What conditions do you want for a helicopter flight into the highest peaks in NZ? How about clear blue skies, small fluffy clouds for interest and a light wind to make the flight a just a little bit interesting...... bingo, exactly what we got, could not have wished for anything better! I can't believe how lucky we've been with the helicopter flights both this year and last year.
Deb was so excited, I think she would be happy to go up in a helicopter even if it just went round and round and circles. It didn't even bother her she had to get up at 6.30am to get to the take off point. We had about 30 minutes flying time then 5 minutes on the snow walking around at the top of one of the peaks. Deb was on such a buzz when she came down she even managed to tuck into a full English breakfast afterwards.
I'll leave this post here as we packed so much into this day it'll be a book on it's own... the foot of Mt. Cook and Mt. Tasman, the Tasman Glacier and another lovely sunset, will all be covered in a seperate blog entry soon...
P.S. Did I remember to say Deb was on cloud nine, literally, from the flight this morning.... oh yes, I did didn't I! ;o>
